Follow Me Friday: Blog Style October 26

Hi! Welcome to Follow Me Friday: Blog
Style! I believe that book bloggers should help one another, because
well, we all have one thing in common- the love of blogging, and
books. I've had the pleasure of meeting and networking with some
great bloggers out there, and my little tribute to everyone is to
start up this fun Friday post! The power of uniting has helped Storm
Goddess Book Reviews & More grow into what it is today, and I'm
not about to forget the help I've gotten to achieve this goal. My
hope in starting this is to get other blogs some more followers,
whether they are a well-known blog or a small one, a blog that's just
starting out. I'm here to help.

This Friday I'd like to feature
Footsteps of a Writer. The owner/create of this blog is Cher Green. I
hope you'll follow along as I ask some questions pertaining to the
blog, and a few fun questions. Ready? Let's begin!

Hi! Welcome to Storm Goddess Book
Reviews and More! I'm really excited about this, and glad that you
have taken part of the fun!

So, tell us a little bit about
yourself! By day, I’m a rural mail carrier. By night, I’m a
writer, blogger, and tarot enthusiast. I began my life journey in
Spring Hill, TN, the middle of three children. I now reside in South
Carolina. My mission in life is to share my gifts with others, and to
help others in their journey to success.

What made you decide to start a blog?
I began Footsteps of a Writer as a way to introduce myself to the
world of writing. Now, as a published author, it is an extension of
promotion for both my work and other writers’ work. The blog
focuses on writers, but also extends to readers wanting to know more
about their favorite writers.

How did you come up with a blog name?
I wanted to allow readers and writers to follow me in my writing
journey, therefore Footsteps of a Writer.

How long has your blog been
live/active? The blog began in August of 2009.

What type of things do you do? You’ll
find updates on my works/publications, interviews with other writers,
book reviews, writing advice, techniques for writing using the Tarot,
and so much more.

What are THREE unique things about
your blog? My blog come to you from a personal viewpoint of a writer
just starting out. It’s more than a promotional tool, it’s a
place to go and be with writers/readers who share your interests. You
never really know what you might find – In 2010, we stepped through
Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. It was an enjoyable journey.
I’m now stepping through it once again, on my Tarot Guidance blog.

What's the best thing about blogging?
I enjoy writing the posts, the interaction with both other writers
and readers, and offering advice from my own experiences.

What's the hardest thing about being a
blogger? The time, every post takes a little time from my writing,
but in the end it’s worth it. It allows for writing practice and as
said above a healthy form of interaction with people. A writer’s
life tends to get lonely sometimes.

Besides blogging, what are some of
your other hobbies and passions? I’m a huge tarot enthusiast, and
anything spiritual. Most of my writing includes a touch of
paranormal, so research is more than a job, it’s an enjoyment.

Which author have you not hosted on
your blog that you'd LOVE to have? Anyone that knows me knows the
answer to this one. Stephen King. Huge fan!

Where can readers find you? Most
everything can be found on my Author’s Page – www.chergreen.com.
I can also be followed through twitter and Facebook, links above.

How would an author go about getting a
feature, whether it be, an interview, guest post, etc? I’m always
open to having guests on the blog. Simply email me at chergreen at
chergreen dot com, and I’ll be more than happy to set something up.
My blog is your blog, writers/readers always welcomed.

Most memorable post/event? I would
have to say it was the day I changed my sub-title from ‘A walk with
an aspiring writer.’ to ‘A walk with a n aspiring
published writer.’ This would have been in February of 2011, when
my short story, Friends
Forever published with Untied Shoelaces of the Mind.

Favorite color? It would be a draw
between blue and purple, depending on my mood.

What's your dream job? Full-time
Writer

If you could travel anywhere in the
world, no money holding you back, where would you go? So many places!
Maybe Australia.

Anything else you'd like to add in,
maybe something I didn't ask in the interview that you'd love to
share with readers? I do believe you covered everything. What a
wonderful interview. Thank you so much for having me.

I really appreciate you answering my
questions. It's great getting to know other bloggers that share the
same interests as I do. Before we end this post, please share any
links that come in handy for you and your blog.

After all this time and I had no idea I was your first guest. That's pretty darn kewl. Great interview, Cher and Nikki. It was nice getting to know you better, Cher. I worked as a mail sorter for years when my sons were small. That's something else we have in common.

This was a fun interview. Glad you enjoyed. Wow, another connection. We may need to sit down and talk about this. In another life, we may have been relatives or close friends. The energies of this world tend to throw people into each others' paths more than once.
